Minister of Foreign Affairs  Hugh Todd on Monday visited Linden to meet with migrants from Venezuela who have settled in Region 10. Accompanying the Minister was Dr. Peter Ramsaroop, CEO of the Guyana Office for Investment.

Todd’s visit comes after a September 29 Sunday Stabroek report about Venezuelans living in squalid conditions in the region. The authorities did not appear to know that they were there.

Todd is the Chair of the Government of Guyana Multi-Agency Coordinating Committee that addresses Government’s coordinated response to the influx of migrants from Venezuela to Guyana.
